Corsair began as a company in 1994 by providing L2 cache modules to OEMs – to anyone familiar with modern CPUs, it is easy to see why Corsair has expanded to enthusiast oriented power supplies and RAM modules. With a background in high-performance memory for servers, Corsair has expanded to include SSDs, CPU coolers, peripherals and computer cases.

Starting with the Obsidian series, Corsair has systematically released a chassis to tackle almost every segment. With most of the segments covered, Corsair has rethought the ATX case and has released something a little… different. Launching at the top of the Carbide series (designed to be focused on performance and high-end features, while still being accessible to every builder), the Carbide Air 540 cube-style computer case brings a unique option to the series.
